Shielding Paint ECO54 | Special paint without preservatives for indoor use | HF shielding attenuation against electrosmog up to 75 dB at 40 GHz

Shielding Paint ECO54 | Coverage

In general, the coverage of shielding paints is significantly dependent on the substrate. The more the substrate “sucks” i.e. absorbs paint, the more shielding paint is needed. Therefore, we recommend performing tests on small areas to see how quickly the paint “soaks in”. We fundamentally recommend using our primer as this prevents excessive consumption of the ECO54 shielding paint. The “average” coverage is thus based on a non-“absorbent” substrate.

It is absolutely necessary to stir the ECO54 shielding paint thoroughly before application. Due to storage and transport, the heavier ingredients of the shielding paint have settled, and this must be corrected. With our specially developed stirring rod, re-mixing and stirring the shielding paint is easily and effectively possible. Simply clamp it into a standard electric drill and mix or blend it for about 5 minutes per container. No solid residue of the fixed ingredients should remain at the bottom of the container – this would result in lower shielding performance because it would not be applied to the wall.

Absolutely Necessary Grounding of ECO54 Shielding Paint

According to valid DIN/VDE regulations, all electrically conductive surfaces must be grounded by a qualified electrician. This can be done via the grounding conductor of the house electrical system (ground contact in the socket) or via the grounded heating pipe of the wall radiator. It is also necessary that a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker is installed in the fuse box. It must fundamentally be noted that the circuit must be interrupted before painting work—an electric shock with 230 volts at 16 amperes can be fatal! When painting the wall, a distance of one centimeter from the electrified flush-mounted box should be maintained.

Electric alternating fields can be grounded. This is in contrast to wireless radiation (high frequency) which is based on reflection and therefore cannot be grounded. Shielding from wireless radiation is therefore also based on reflection, which prevents the penetration of electromagnetic radiation into the room.

The ECO54 shielding paint protects against both types of electrosmog emissions. This means against electric alternating fields through grounding and high-frequency electromagnetic fields through reflection.
